Their privacy is better than regular Firefox due to disabling telemetry etc, but librewolf does way more to protect against fingerprinting. The browser itself is quite good, although it shows that it’s in early development. Also I disabled send a do not track signal as it is used for fingerprinting
Optimised for peak performance? Are there benchmarks to back this up?
Edit - their docs have benchmarks. They do not appear to have comparative benchmarks
edit - lol amazing
That whole chart seems pretty hand-wavey.
I love options but does anybody else wish devs would put their heads together and focus on improving ONE app rather than launch a millon similar forks?
I like it so far. The weakness seems to be the size of the dev team and if the project has a future. Hopefully they are planning accordingly.
I went through a handful of threads and it seems mostly positive so far. One choice I wasn't sure about was that they're considering having a built in adblocker (based on something that's not ublock origin). I would prefer if the browser just shipped with ublock origin instead.

As far as privacy focused browsers go, ~~Mull~~ Mullvad Browser seems to be the best still. I was exploring Zen for my day to day browser.
nixpkgs has been working on adding it for a month now but it uses “surfer” for compilation. It’ll be interesting to see how they end up building it in the Nix style. Looks like it’ll have to involve pnpm.
I'll take anything to get off of Firefox. I'll give this browser a week long trial run.

can you spot any differences in your browser comparison?
